>I wish regulators would catch on to stuff like this early and nip them in the bud, rather than act 10 years later, when the damage is already done, the monopoly is already well established, and the companies are forced to pay a fine of like 5% of what they gained from achieving that monopoly through the anti-competitive tactics.

Reminds me of Mr. Robot & how Evil Corp still profited from ignoring regulations (which got people killed).
